In 1:00.19 minutes, the Upper Austrian missed the semi-finals by just 0.18 seconds.

Simon Bucher was 28th in the 50 m backstroke in 23.70, 0.33 seconds off the last 16, and will be competing in the 100 m dolphin on Friday. Andreas Rizek finished his only World Championship event in the 200 m dolphin in 1:55.40 in 23rd place.
